How many USB ports does this use? I noticed one of the other portable monitors uses two. Thanks.

Uses one usb port for both power and data. I use mine daily. Has a great picture.

It uses one USB port. Five of my coworkers also purchased this monitor and we are all please with it. We are all traveling consultants who use this daily.

This device uses a single USB port, but it needs to have sufficient power to drive the monitor. It works fine with three different laptops I use it with -

It uses only 1 - USB port. I have also used a USB 3 hub and it worked that way as well.

Never used it that way but I have with other windows systems. There is only one old fashion type monitor port. If one of your monitors works with a usb port I would think it would not be a problem.

I do not know for sure. I have been using it to add two additional monitors to a 2 monitor computer resulting in 4 monitors. When I disengaged the USB adaptor, the computer went back to the way it was (two monitors) with no issues. I hope this helps.

For both of these questions please contact Plugable customer service for knowledgeable answers. 1) It supports two monitors for my computer configuration; 2) I'm not sure of the connection for your computer, but it would probably best work on whatever offers a USB 3 connection.

You probably already have this answered, but you need to connect a 2nd cable from the monitor to the computer. It's the one that has a squarish end fitting at the monitor, and a USB fitting on the other end that goes to the computer. This takes away one USB port at your computer, but gives you 4 at the monitor in return.

It has 2 USB ports, a 2rd port is slightly smaller than the USB. Sorry, we don't have all the technical information as out IT person is on vacation.

It will work with any avail USB port you have. I currently use two to allow me to have 3 monitors connected. If you have a usb port avail, you can plug it in

While facing the screen there are 2 USB ports on the right hand side of the computer and there are 2 USB ports on the left hand side of the computer for a total of 4 USB ports. I hope this helps.

I don't run 2 monitors, just the laptop and 1 external monitor which is plugged into the one provided HDMI port on the device. The docking station does not have a thunderbolt port which would allow daisy chaining thunderbolt devices were it available. So there seems to be nothing that would indicate that you could run 2 monitors through this docking station.

Not sure I can honestly answer this. I connect my devices to the monitor via an HDMI cable - tablet, iPhone and iPad. There is a USB connection but I have never used it.

The ViewSonic VA2446M-LED monitor has no usb ports. The only connections are video (one dvi, one vga) and one audio 1/8" stereo Jack.

Hello - yes, our monitors can indeed work as third, fourth, fifth, etc monitors on a multi-monitor setup. The USB end of the cable only requires one slot, as the cable delivers both power and data. Our USB cables have a dual-headed design to accommodate older underpowered computers. The second USB head can be plugged in to provide additional power.

Two USB ports. And you can use multiple "sections" at once. Meaning you can use the USB port and the plug at the same time

I don't see any USB ports, just VGA, HDMI, and the other one (optical?). They are pretty basic monitors but good for the price.

I've had my laptop hooked up to an HDMI monitor at the same time as this USB monitor, so I had three monitors going at one, but I've never tried two USB monitors.

it has a total of 5. 3 in the back and 2 on the front. you could use a usb hub if that isn't enough ports for you. that is what i do, i have a powered ac usb 10 port hub i use. totally great machine and have had no problems with it whatsoever in the time i have had it. windows 8 took some getting used to though. i think you may be able to get it cheaper if youshop around the net, as i paid less than $500 for it and picked up a 24" monitor for about $120.

One USB 3.0 cable is included to connect your PC to this monitor. There are three USB ports on the side of the monitor. These ports are compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0, but you will need to supply your own for other 3.0 USB devices.
